Ahhh, ’tis the season, the holidays are upon us again!   I used to greet this time of year with a certain level of anxiety and resistance, especially if I was traveling.  Food selection, training frequency, sleep patterns all get whacky and it would stress me out!  I’ve learned to appreciate these temporary “pauses” in the daily “grinds” and routines and instead am more relaxed and present.  I look forward to experiencing some “real winter”, running in the cold, cooking with family and doing a lot of relaxing.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

We’re all busy, especially this time of year.  HERE is a great read on how some of the most successful people in the world (ie crazy busy people) make fitness a top priority.  No excuses!
